MOSCOW, June 23, Sergey Smyshlyaev. Russian skiers are well aware that, most likely will not be allowed to participate in the 2023 World Ski Championships, Olympic champion Sergei Ustyugov said in an interview. The 2023 World Ski Championships will be held in Planica, Slovenia from February 22 to March 5. At the end of February, the International Ski Federation (FIS) suspended Russian athletes from international competitions under its auspices because of the events in Ukraine. «We were told that it's 50/50 whether there will be a world championship for us or not. We are all adults and understand very well that, most likely, it will not happen. Will alternative international games be held with the countries that we have … It would be cool. I understand with my head that I won’t be able to plow the whole season. Three or four starts at which I have to show wow «, Ustyugov said.
